I was trying to install a guest using vm-bhyve. Everything seemed to be
fine until I went to install the ISO. I used this command;
# vm install -f myubuntu <ISO>
For ISO I tried these:
- ubuntu-16.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso
- ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
- ubuntu-18.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso
I get the first menu screen and select "Install Ubuntu". The screen
then goes blank and nothing happens from that point on. The CPU usage
is 100%.
So, then I tried TrueOS. It also hung. Here is what it displayed when
it hung:
/boot/kernel/opensolaris.ko size 0xa530 at 0x264d000
/boot/kernel/aesni.ko size 0xc830 at 0x2658000
/boot/kernel/tmpfs.ko size 0x10ac8 at 0x2665000
/boot/kernel/geom_eli.ko size 0x1ea40 at 0x2676000
can't find '/boot/entropy'
/boot/kernel/zfs.ko size 0x3aa260 at 0x2695000

That last character is supposed to be the spinner but it just sits there
in one poition.
I then tried FreeBSD. I assumed that if anything was going to work it
would be that. However even that fails. It hangs here:
Loading configured modules...
can't find '/boot/entropy'
/
The spinner is not moving again. I know that I used to be able to
install different OSs but something on my server must have changed. I
can't figure out what though. Can anyone suggest something that I can
check?
FreeBSD dilbert.druid.net 12.1-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p1
GENERIC amd64 if it matters.
Cheers.
